Twin Lakes hosted an AWSA sanctioned Level 1 and 2 clinic for 19 young Eastern Region skiers. The majority were first time skiers, some were just beginning to slalom and a few were ready to try the slalom course.

Both lakes were used full time for two days, with skiers receiving land and on water coaching according to skill level. Every new skier was able to get up behind Twin Lakes' Mastercraft ski boats, some off the boom, and others deepwater starting. They all became very enthusiastic about waterskiing. Two of the young skiers proceeded to score their first buoys in a tournament the following weekend.

With parents helping to organize lunch and other shore activities the two days went smoothly and by all accounts the program was a great success. The children are already looking forward to next year.
